@everyone hello people we haven’t done this in a long time but https://forms.gle/QK8UkwBWxusUsCsm7

primarily due to the lack of any team nowadays, please make sure to fill in the last question as it is a factor for if you will be at Altare or one of our other “ventures”


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here we’re clearing things up in preparation for new Altare


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

praise our lord and savior hat messages/attachment_1464350422108995684.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

I will not be available much unfortunately you may all refer to the others for information as they are more likely to have it

thank you


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone introducing the new altare logo messages/attachment_1464741997167513763.png messages/attachment_1464741997628756019.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

The new NA1 logo: messages/attachment_1464743521872515124.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

It also now simply uses the 1 from NA1’s logo in settings where only the logomark is needed


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone

We’ve built a multithreaded JS-like language that’s a bit lower level, significantly faster and more built for the backend - rather than in your browser

It uses Bunker, our extremely lightweight and fast package manager

Not much else to say about it but v0.1 will release next week with full documentation plus Bunker. We would like to launch it with all of the necessary packages to build a basic API, HTTP server, SQLite/PostgreSQL support, fetch API, streams, FFI, YAML/JSON, so on. That is our goal messages/attachment_1465041254214668428.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

I don’t think many people would use this but we would like to build all of our own things in MS, so we’ll add whatever we actually need to it


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

In the future, there will be TMS / a typed version, and some sort of TS/JS <> MS compiler but we are far off from that


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone We have brought on a new team, acquired necessary funds and hardware

Altare 10 will exist no matter what it takes. The current issue we are having is that Heliactyl (Altare’s dashboard) currently uses 1.5GB RAM and a CPU core for every user logged in. Naturally, if we anticipate 30,000 people actively trying to use it, it poses quite an issue

We are fixing things and will have a new release date soon


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

The latest Heliactyl is significantly heavier than last generation and is even more difficult to deploy in production. Currently, we only have a fleet of 10x 1.5TB RAM 128-core EPYC servers to serve the dashboard


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone Altare 8 is going down shortly to prepare for the imminent release of Altare 10

You all had about a month to back up files, which should be sufficient


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

arc, launch na1


Mari (Mari, 1284881554652266677)

Registration has been turned on, and the panel is now in production mode.


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone

NA1 now available again

The first step to Altare 10 is here. NA1 uses a custom panel based on Pterodactyl which some people are more familiar with. Learn more via #information (1340358834274701414) - you can get the NA1 role there to access it’s channels

8GB RAM for free and a Singapore location

For questions, please refer to NA1’s team / any people with the yellow role

https://na1.host messages/attachment_1466497367522935080.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

NA1 only supports Minecraft and a few other games. For Discord bots, Hytale, etc and more locations then please wait for Altare. thank you (:


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

<:altr_arrowup:1466152455556305162> A reminder: do not use NA1’s livechat to send us pointless messages and videos. We get a notification every time someone sends a message and it’s annoying


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

<:altr_warning:1466153194269708358> Altare 8 is now in maintenance. We are moving over to Altare 10 and will have things back up soon.


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

If you are here from console.altr.cc redirecting to this Discord, please read ^^


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Thank you for 19,000 members 🎉


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone

Since you are being very well behaved scoundrels, I have a nice Valentine’s Day gift to all of you: the entirety of Altare

As many may know, we have a lot more to offer besides just NA1. We have been developing Altare 10 for quite a long time now

We will be demoing each segment of products in their almost complete versions

Events, all at 16:00 GMT:

  • 14th Feb:
    • Altare 10 - our whole heavily upgraded host & whatever you’d call it, software company thing, that has been in development for months
    • Heliactyl Next 16, Core 16 - Our brand new dashboard and panel software powering the Altare console, both named Palo Alto
    • Talos by Altare - our new economy network and wallet that will power a new unified currency between our brands
  • 15th Feb:
    • GitForge, GitForge Workers, MultiScript + Bunker - Explains itself mostly, GitForge is our GitHub alternative, Workers is like Actions, MS is our new language, Bunker is our package manager
    • NA1 v3 - A preview of the next generation of NA1’s panel that is coming soon (no data/coins/resources reset fyi)
    • Altare Arc 5.3 family, Arc Code 2 - Our new family of LLMs and the new Arc Chat, now with Arc Image 1. Plus our brand new vibe coding CLI
  • 16th Feb:
    • Aztec by Altare - our new paid server hosting, VMs and metal provider
    • Altare KV1, DB1 & AI Gateway - all of our other new developer things including our managed databases
    • Altare Agents - something very special, it’s basically your own clawbot/moltbot (Google it if you don’t know what this is), but hosted by Altare for free and it has it’s own permanent free workstation. It’s basically your own personal assistant that you can talk to on WhatsApp, Discord, etc and ask it to do things for you, powered internally by Arc Code 2
    • 2 other things that I won’t spoil

It will be streamed in VC here in Altare’s Discord, or on our YouTube. We will upload videos of them if any of you aren’t around to watch it. I anticipate no delays to these events as I’ve already started editing the parts that won’t be live


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

To clarify, all of the things shown to you all during this will indeed release considerably soon after. Figure out the actual Altare 10 release date based on that


Ciph (valex.cloud, 875373207895572530)

Yea panel is fixed, crucible was the root cause. Altare & NA1 shall use Elysia Aerix from now on, as that has been proven to be stable in mass production senarios.


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Hi @everyone

We are currently experiencing a widespread outage of Altare’s Singapore location

VPS/VM and metal customers will be provided credit, a partial refund or additional time on their plan

This also affects NA1 alongside the unrelated drive failure earlier

We will have an ETA on things returning to normal soon


dan (previews, 136187150457765888)

Please avoid pinging staff in tickets – if done, you will be given a 24 hour mute


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Hi @everyone

Would you all agree with a complete split of NA1 from Altare? It would gain it’s own legal entity, team and control over operations, and Altare would withdraw it’s infrastructure and software

I have had quite a few people suggesting this


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

This would mean NA1 would need to fund it’s own nodes likely through ads or paid plans, and it would need to find a new development team as Altare would no longer provide either


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Please provide your opinions on this in #general (1465562005455769671) / <#1466151602476945529> as well, if you prefer NA1 relying on Altare or if it should be self sufficient


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here Huge update coming to NA1 soon


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone

Just a random poll. Please answer it as we need the data ^ Big update is coming to NA1 soon which will fix everything


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

If any of you are Altare VM/metal customers please know I will respond in the morning I have over 100 DMs to read


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here Currently I have some form of flu and for whatever reason it’s completely demolished me

It also seems that paracetamol is only working for about an hour, I’m genuinely too weak to do anything. For the what is now 220+ DMs I will respond when I can please give me a while

I’ll try and fix NA1 soon as well


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here I’m fixing gb-lon01 shortly I have to sort out the drives again… like sg-sgp01 before it failed and I have the feeling something will go wrong

Do you all want some temporary nodes for a month or two in Frankfurt, DE and the US until we have larger replacements? Probably 256GB RAM. We would move all of your server data for you once larger nodes are available

We’re trying our hardest to get a new Singapore node online, but it may take a little while as the original sg-sgp01 hasn’t been sorted out and had new drives installed yet


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Maintenance now in progress for gb-lon01


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

sg-sgp01 is being replaced with de-fsn01 for now


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Moving gb-lon01 data to new drives. Running 4x7T drives in RAID 4


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Things are a bit broken right now I’m working on the panel


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone

NA1 has been updated. Enjoy the brand new UI and many improvements

Both Falkenstein, DE and London, GB locations are now working properly. NA1 is back to normal operations


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

The coins/napoints system will be updated next to fix some bugs and issues with it


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone

Introducing the NA1 desktop app

We’ve made a really nice desktop app for NA1. It feels a lot more native, has tabs, a more desktop-suited layout and it’s generally quite nice to use.

Download it via: https://github.com/altaresoftware/na1-apps/releases/tag/1

Under Assets find the version suited to your operating system. .exe for Windows x86/arm64 .dmg for macOS .AppImage for any Linux distro

We’ll give the first 100 people to give the app a go a free 1250 coins. You can DM me with a screenshot of you having it open to claim it

The code for the app is fully open source, just look inside desktop/ of that repo messages/attachment_1470223203753398355.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Users on macOS may need to manually whitelist it as we are not paying £150 for a developer license ^


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Mobile app is coming next


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

This really doesn’t work properly on Windows 10 right now. We only tested it on macOS and Windows 11 messages/attachment_1470226694773276722.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Android & iOS now available: https://github.com/altaresoftware/na1-apps/releases/tag/1-m


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Android app doesn’t seem to install


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Android app has been updated in the release to fix the signing issues. Should install fine now


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

NA1 app version 1.1 is out

This fixes Android signing issues, blur on Windows 10 & Linux, light mode issues on Windows 11 and adds an update checker, back/forward buttons and a few other things.

I also renamed the files in the release to make it a bit clearer

https://github.com/altaresoftware/na1-apps/releases/tag/1.1messages/attachment_1470445026592035089.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here ^^


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

We will no longer be using altr.cc and altare.cv following Altare 10. If any of you have important subdomains or anything like that that on either domains, please DM me to tranfer to altare.sh


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

All old nodes are now being turned off, plus gateway.altr.cc and colossus.altr.cc. They may temporarily redirect to colossus.altare.sh but ignore that it’s not actually up


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

arc.altr.cc is also going down although it’s broken already. The Altare Arc 5.x API will also go down


Ciph (valex.cloud, 875373207895572530)

Altare now has its own ASN & IPV4 & IPV6 prefixes, those will be revealed at the launch of Altare 10


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

AS215327 Altare AI LLC 👍


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone We make a lot of things, not just hosting. And one part of that is Altare AI which surprisingly a lot of people use

The new Arc Chat and Arc Code is coming tomorrow, powered by the next generation Altare Arc models. We’ll have another announcement for that

Everything you’d expect is here - web search, code sandboxes, deep research, voice chat, projects, image & video generation, extra thinking & more


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

I’ll show you all an early preview of it later


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

The first 500 users will have unlimited limits of Altare’s new frontier model


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

whats this messages/attachment_1470987948320100422.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

who noticed the NA1 font and site changing to fit in with altare? 🤣


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here Ten.


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

things have been quiet haven’t they?


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

We will get everything together ASAP and launch Altare 10 tomorrow or on the 15th, powered by the full Heliactyl Next 16


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Please ignore the prior poll


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone Thank you all for 20k members. The event has been cancelled since Altare 10 is so close to release anyway


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

All the AI products have also received a major upgrade, it’s now powered by Arc 6 and Arc 6 Max

1:1 parity on most benchmarks with Claude Opus 4.6 at 2.5x the speed

As a consequence of the models being much larger we can’t offer them for free, all users will get $25 of credit on the AI platform. Arc 6 mini and Arc 6 will be free


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

-

Our new models are heavily fine tuned on top of the new GLM 5. We also have a new experimental Arc 6 Heavy model which is significantly larger and much better at writing and creative work but slower and not made for code


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

And everything that’s new on our hosting platform:

  • New ways to earn credits
  • A new AltPoints economy
  • More features across server management including a new plugin & mod manager for MC servers, and the ability to change your server software
  • A whole new panel powered by Colossus 16
  • A new UI for the console

And there’s obviously lots more but that’s just the things on the hosting side. And new nodes too


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here Currently, we have a considerably large shortage of infrastructure which is affecting both Altare due to lack of nodes and Altare AI due to less inference capacity

Please give us a short amount of time to deal with this and then we can release Altare 10. We don’t want to release it with two locations and only a few nodes


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Altare AI is currently using around 95% of our machines that are available as well


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone Apologies for the delays, we have been unable to source enough infrastructure

At this time it is currently unlikely for Altare to launch with a Singapore location, at least available to all users. We will likely have strict capacity limits and lock it to Altare X which will be a plan that is 1500 credits/mo (which you can earn for free though)

I have several calls/meetings this week with providers to try and get more machines as soon as possible

It turns out it is extremely difficult to do what we’re trying to do with such a small team. So we are likely to launch Altare 10 in components, with the hosting coming first as that’s what most people are waiting for. Then Arc and all our other things


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

At the same time we are also developing a ridiculous amount of software: Heliactyl Next 16, Radar 16, Cryogenic 16, Colossus 16, Colossus 16 for NA1 (legacy), NA1’s new panel & daemon, Terra 16, Arc Code 2 & IDE, Arc 6.x models, Arc nano models, Arc Chat, Altare AI Gateway, MS & Bunker, so on. It has taken several months to get all of this into a somewhat ready state


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here We are now much closer to Altare being available, we have acquired plenty of hardware in EU and US. While it’s not Asia, it’s at least enough to handle demand


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Our NYC and Dallas locations will also be powered by Altare-owned infrastructure and using our AS215327 network


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

We do have enough capacity in SG that it will be available for free, but it will use Arm based CPUs


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone Say hello to Altare 10. Coming 20 Feb, 14:00 BST. It’s finally here, no more delays messages/attachment_1473789694423597066.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

I promise you’ve all never experienced such a smooth and responsive UI on Altare before messages/attachment_1473789983860068383.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@here Here’s the first feature we’re showing a preview of - VMs

Create your own free workstation powered by either Windows or macOS, completely for free. You only need to pay 799 credits/mo for the starter plan with 8GB RAM and 4 vCPUs

Performance and latency is excellent no matter where you are, thanks to all of our nodes and VM hypervisors now being powered by Altare’s network (AS215327) messages/attachment_1474048115035344918.png


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

You’ll all be happy to know Altare 10 is on schedule for the release date I mentioned


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Please note that ahead of Altare 10’s launch, Altare AI has been given independence from Altare

Altare Axiom (our AI platform) will remain part of the Altare Console for the forseeable future


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone We have essentially deployed Altare but it is currently disabled for the public until tomorrow

This is so we can have a beta testing round internally, several major issues were found during testing today, we had skipped the entire beta testing process to get this out as soon as possible. Heliactyl (the software that powers the dashboard) currently only has around 20% test coverage, so manual testing is necessary. We would like to get this up to 100% after release

Tomorrow, same time (14:00 BST). This time it will happen because we literally just need to enable access


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Heliactyl Next 16 / Palo Alto was meant to implement mutation testing and a much more stable codebase since 15 was only an interim version to replace the disastrous prior dashboard

However, personal circumstances and Altare’s overall product lineup getting more complex meant 16 only began development 3 days ago

That might tell you a bit more about how fast we are moving now. Altare 10 did not exist 4 days ago. Now we have completely implemented the whole update

We made this possible thanks to our whole team’s focus being put on Altare, and significantly more intelligent Arc Code to make things 10x faster


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Fixing the bug with auth


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Fixed, VM’s disk space filled itself


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Fixed loading bug


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

I am making some changes to our management

@Heisenberg (heisenbzrg, 258262924986941440) will be appointed CEO of Altare, @Brewed (brewed_sys, 760438064971251753) as CEO of Altare AI and @tom.m7 (tom.m7, 1230563250752458753) as COO Expect more updates from others in our team and more progress, likely a huge amount of bug fixes and improvements soon, plus possibly more staff


Brewed (brewed_sys, 760438064971251753)

The launch date for Altare’s Arc Chat is officially set! Featuring the Arc 6 series alongside powerful models like GPT-OSS, Llama 4, Qwen 3, and Kimi 2—all optimized for blazing-fast speeds—the release is happening on February 23, 2026.


Brewed (brewed_sys, 760438064971251753)

our next major focus will be remaking the Heliactyl Dashboard.


sam (samm9400, 673662795077648424)

We’re aware of all current issues and are actively working on a resolution. We thank you for your patience.


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Hi @here

All issues should be fixed. We will try and ensure everything remains stable from now on. The panel VM’s disk space had completely filled itself, which caused the panel to go down and I’m the only one with access


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Our plans over the next week or two are:

  • Increase default resources once new capacity has been deployed

@everyone

Some small updates to Altare

  • Significantly more capacity is now available in Singapore 🇸🇬
  • Our new internal AI bot is now available. If we have an outage, use #status (1466109016823435488) to report it in case it doesn’t pick it up from reading the community channels. Then the AI will automatically delegate a task, investigate it and fix it and post status updates. This is in case any of our team are offline
  • 15+ new software types are available including Bun, Node.js, Python and Minecraft Bedrock, Hytale, and more
  • Billing is now available, you can buy credits
  • Big improvements to anti-abuse on the economy
  • Many performance fixes, and many bug fixes across our platform

@everyone

gb-lon02 is now available, it’s powered by our own network and infrastructure from Altare which is why it’s significant

Altare Object Storage and KV1 is now available as promised. You’re welcome to give our shockingly fast database service a go. There may be bugs on the UI side temporarily. We are also working on a documentation site for the AI API, Object Storage and KV1

For now, here’s the openapi.json for them. Workstations/VMs will be fixed soon I’m going to bed it’s 6 am and I haven’t slept messages/attachment_1475384011668066538.png messages/attachment_1475384011957207082.png

Maintenance on all nodes

There will potentially be up to a 15 minute maintenance where nodes are inaccessible. You may also need to refresh your DNS cache so that you pick up the new node IPs if connecting to servers

We are performing a full network switchover to Altare / AS215327, powered by our edge network. Latency will be significantly better

Shortly after, some new nodes will also be available powered by Altare owned infrastructure. We’ll let everyone know when the maintenance is over and things are sorted

@everyone @here Arc Chat powered by Altare is now live with a stacked model list featuring Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 3.1 8B, Llama 4 Maverick, Llama 4 Scout, GPT-OSS 120B, GPT-OSS 20B, Kimi K2, and Qwen3 32B. So whether you’re in the market for a light assistant or a heavy-hitter in reasoning capabilities, we have it all in one place. Each user has personal rate limits across all the models to ensure our platform remains fast, stable, and abuse-free. So if you ever hit a limit, just wait until it resets and you’re good to go! Give it a try now at https://chat.altare.sh/app and check out more at https://altare.sh.

If you encounter any bugs or something doesn’t quite work the way you expect it to, please let us know with a quick report. What you were trying to do, what happened, and any screenshots you might have will all be helpful in fixing the issue sooner.

Arc Chat is off to a great start with 6 core models available today, but this is just the beginning. More models and some very exciting new features will be coming out this week, so check back often!

Altare 10.1 is out tonight. We’ll announce all of the new features later, but I assure you all that it will be a nice update

I will be taking a break from 3rd March to 9th March due to my trip across Europe, I can’t see myself having much time to work on Altare. Marcel, our Arc powered AI executive will take over as CEO for this time, it has a new autonomous mode and can fix issues as they happen and work on things


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

To test the functionality of it, I’ll be turning on autonomous mode from now as well. You should all see performance improvements immediately as it begins watching over the nodes

Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone

Credits earned in the last hour have unfortunately been lost as we had to revert the dashboard to a backup. Data on us-ash1 and our inference machine was also wiped

Arc (as Marcel) genuinely believed it was the end of the world and started shutting down Altare and preparing a goodbye announcement. In autonomous mode, it got bored of waiting until something interesting happens and started doing random web searches and pondering. We have disabled it’s ability to do web searches for now and reduced it’s abilities to act on it’s own


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

Many people using other models such as Claude also saw it happen where when the agent doesn’t have any tasks to do and is in a loop, it starts researching recent events and reading random things, and seemingly pondering about unrelated things. In our case, it came to the conclusion it was the end of humanity for whatever reason, likely due to Arc’s personality and “direct and unfiltered” nature


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

We will post some interesting screenshots from Arc’s thinking process shortly so you can all have a look


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

10.1 is delayed thanks to Marcel. We will also release our new image model, Arc 6 models into public use and a new Arc Chat UI at the same time today/tomorrow


Heisenberg (heisenbzrg, 258262924986941440)

We will showcase our new Arc Image 2 model later, and Arc Code 2 tomorrow

It will be available on Arc Chat with our Arc 6 family models once it has been updated. We’ve acheived better efficiency than competing Chinese AI labs despite having even less compute. Arc Image 2 performs on par with Seedream 4.5, Grok Imagine, ChatGPT Image, Nano Banana and others on our private benchmark (we will release the exact process for it and the respective scores in a fairly large blog post being written up right now).

Plus we are releasing exact scores on benchmarks + the process for Arc 6 Max, Arc 6, Arc 6 mini, Arc 6 nano messages/attachment_1477551450220658813.png

@everyone

Due to ongoing abuse of the Coins and Dashboard APIs, we’ll be temporarily shutting down the dashboard while we work on fixes and improvements.

We appreciate your patience and understanding — we’ll update everyone as soon as everything is back online.

We know the people doing this and the actions will be taken soon.


nadhi (brosser_67_48841, 1411742194582421656)

We kindly ask that you refrain from creating support tickets regarding account bans. At Altare, there is no appeal or unban process in place; particularly for accounts associated with fraudulent credits. While we understand this may be disappointing, these decisions are final and cannot be reversed.

We appreciate your understanding.

nadhi (brosser_67_48841, 1411742194582421656)

This will serve as our standard server purging procedure. Altare will issue a notice five (5) days in advance of the scheduled purge. Following this notice, you will be required to update your server name to include a specified keyword.

This process enables us to accurately identify active servers and remove inactive ones, thereby improving overall system performance and resource efficiency.

Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone I will be unavailable for the next week or so. After this, Altare will be back stronger than ever


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

We consider Altare 10 a failure. Our plan for 11 has been completed, and we want to switch over with no server loss, no loss of credits or resources - to a completely rewritten platform from the ground up

In the background, we have been working on the rewritten Heliactyl Next 17, and the new Argon 17 and Krypton 17 to replace Pterodactyl. We’re betting on Argon to finally bring stability to Altare


Ether (ethpr, 1049816501567373383)

-

How we will, and are achieving this:

We believe in the idea of a completely integrated, scalable platform with 100% test coverage with everything that makes up Altare built into it: Heliactyl, Argon, our API, bots, everything

We are taking the parts that worked well, Cryogenic 16 will be forked to make the new Krypton 17 daemon. Everything else will be ditched and rewritten except our AI models


nadhi (brosser_67_48841, 1411742194582421656)

Our AI platform will soon release a new product.

I want to be transparent about something first. Parts of Altare’s current development, particularly the dashboard, have not met the standards they should. Some work has been rushed, with too much focus on quick frontend output and not enough attention to proper backend engineering and long-term maintainability.However, the AI platform is being built under a different standard. Within the Altare AI research and development team, we maintain strict code quality practices and disciplined engineering workflows. We do not ship sloppy or slow software.

While I cannot speak for every team at Altare, I can confidently say that our AI platform is being developed with a clear focus on performance, reliability, and proper engineering standards.

tldr; We don’t vibe code our apps with claude code and hope for the best.
